I guess displaying the term was an intent to be shocking, however, my opinion is Stupid is as stupid does! SMILE I'd really agree if he and his wife displayed their clothing read "STUPID."


I really don't understand their intent to be honest.

I think it's apparent you don't understand their intent Lynn.

Which should cause you pause before declaring they are stupid. They are artists who should be judged by the quality and depth of their art.

I interpret Nas' challenge to the fake "taboo" nature of the word "Nigger" as a clever power move. He is redefining the concept. Potentially brilliant. People who behave as if the "N-word" to blacks is like kryptonite to Superman simply add fuel to the semantic fire.

He comes across as evolved, insightful, thoughtful & so does Kelis (speaking of the remark she made at the end). It's clear he's put much consideration into that word. My everday observation is that very few humans have 'evolved' concerning race.
Question: what does he mean that we're going to lose the right to vote in 23 years?

It's shocking to find out DV(someone who listens to garbage like Lil Wayne and other industry niggas) could even appreciate an ARTIST like Nas...

His intent is to sell records and anybody that thinks to the contrary is tripping. I'm as much of a Nas fan as the next man, got all his records but like Jigga said a while back, just cause dude rock a kufi don't make him deep. For a long time I didn't want to believe it but finally I caved in.

And on the losing the right to vote he must have got that bogus email that was floating around:

The Right to Vote for Blacks never expires. The voting rights act was set to basically make sure blacks were not treated dirty in the South when they tried to vote and going forward in the future will probably be more important to Latinos than us.

This is the same dude who in a 2004 central park concert told everyone not to vote. Are you serious?

"The Right to Vote for Blacks never expires."

Yet the 2004 ballots of black voters still sit in dumpsters all over Ohio and Florida. They don't need to allow them to expire if they can just throw them away.

Not just blacks. All Americans are being treated like Niggers by a government that has subverted our democracy and entangled us in a war not in our interest.

Nas revolutionizes the stale race dialog in this country declaring the Nigger the winner.

Nas is a step ahead of you black.

"This is the same dude who in a 2004 central park concert told everyone not to vote. Are you serious?"

Not voting in a corrupt electoral process is far more politically sophisticated than the slavish loyalty corporate / civil rights negros display to the Democratic party and the Clintons.

Sitting at the dinner table, but not eating doesn't make you a diner. Voting in elections manipulated by special interests, corporate donors and foreign lobbyists doesn't mean you have "the right to vote".

Fake email or not Blackandmarried, your voting rights "expired" long ago.

...and let's not forget these so-called "super" delegates who don't give a damn who you voted for.
